Pro-choice supporters protest in front of the Alabama State House in Montgomery, Alabama, May 14.

Mobs moved through towns in Sri Lanka's northwest, ransacking mosques, burning Korans and attacking shops with petrol bombs, residents said. REUTERS/Dinuka Liyanawatte

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised to unite the country after a big election win, with his party on course to increase its majority on a mandate of business-friendly policies and a tough stand on national security.
